What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Horage Lensman 2

The Horage Lensman 2 is recognized for its innovative photographic exposure calculator bezel and legible dial, making it a functional tool for outdoor photography. Reviewers highlight its well-executed 39mm hybrid titanium and aluminum case, COSC-certified K2 GMT movement, and overall good sizing. The watch is priced at CHF 5,450. On balance, reviewers rate the Horage Lensman 2 highly for its unique functionality as a camera tool combined with its luxury micro-rotor GMT features.

From video reviewers

The K2 Micro-Rotor Calibre is a key innovation in the watch. The watch's prominent lug-to-lug fit may be noticeable compared to other watches. Reviewers disagree on the importance of the sliding exposure scale on the bi-directional bezel, with some considering it a unique feature for photographers and others not explicitly mentioning it as a notable aspect.

The Phoibos Apollo Dlc is lauded for its lightweight, scratch-resistant titanium case and unique granular black dial texture. Owners praise its comfortable 41mm x 48mm x 12.5mm dimensions and exceptional lume performance. However, the rocket-shaped hands are noted as making time-telling difficult in low light, and the non-tapering bracelet is a drawback for some. Some users question its value proposition, with one noting that a tourbillon can be found at the same price point as an NH35-powered Phoibos. Overall, owners appreciate the Phoibos Apollo Dlc for its distinctive design and comfortable titanium build, despite some functional and value concerns.
